    I got a lift for Christmas

    Well, not really. What I did get was another bridge jack, so now I have a pair of 6K bridge jacks and an Atlas 412, 12K 4-post lift. I rented a 26' U-Haul truck, picked up the lift (they put it in with a forklift), then it took me about 3 hours to get the jacks and lift out with an engine...

    Fiberglass Insulation Do's and Don'ts

    All, I'm in the process of adding on a 37x40 attached garage. I'm waiting on trussess, now. During this time of waiting (it's killing me), I'm thinking of how to insulate the walls and ceiling. I think I can figure out how to insulate the walls, but insulating between the rafters...
